Inspired by Spags, I dug out the old magnifying glass and came up with a couple of interesting things - don't think these have been commented on yet.

An NPC sitting at a table?

It looks like there are posters of characters lining the street.

New vids? Didn't they said they wouldn't show any video at gamescom ?

Made a second attempt spending more time on ryos face. I think the eyes (the shadow around the eyes which makes him look more western than asian), cheeks and the skin tone is the main reason why ryo looks off. If you compare these two pics you will realize how bad the original Ryo on the right looks like...

THey said they won't show anything at the PUBLIC side of gamescom.

I think it's reasonable to expect a video shown to press (and the KS update following it).

Interesting... might be to mark where NPCs would be on the street?

-------------------------

Oh, and on the subject of video, from the initial Gamescom announcement:

we plan to show our newest movie clips, share the latest updates and even make some new announcements.


Some might be getting confused with the update announcing the meet n' greet, which said there will not be rolling video/demo kiosks in the public area for the game. Video should be a part of the press screening and the KS update that launches alongside it.

That's exactly how he would ideally look. That's perfect man.

Just thinking out loud, but there doesn't seem to be much to do in that great wall.

What if SIII retake of the 70 men battle ?? Like waves of enemies coming towards you, and at the end a boss battle ?

EDIT: it looks like the wall has some holes in it, so it's probably a run/chase QTE scene.

That can be! Or/and it could be one of those more contemplative moment like the walk to Shenhua's house where you have time to talk, admire the landscape, cross the path of unexpected NPCs...

I initially thought it'd be III's equivalent of the long walk through the forest in II, but an action sequence set on the Great Wall of China (or an equivalent)... that might be pretty cool.

Of course, it could be neither.

I have a theory that I'm going to spoiler tag, in case I'm right...

This will be the final location of the game, or nearabouts, and lead Ryo to Beijing for Shenmue IV.

Went for one fiiiiiinal tweak with Photoshop, and did a quick n' nasty job covering up the white area I made when moving the eyes & brow down a bit.

More or less just lengthened and narrowed his face a little, and brought his jawline in a tiny bit.

Thanks guys.

I'm not a Photoshop wiz or nothin', so it's nothing special. It's more a testament to the model itself, which does 99% of the work in achieving a decent likeness to the Dreamcast model.
